Hostelers Will Invade Vermont For Holiday Weekend of Skiing

College schuss-makers will have a chance to hit the long white slopes of Mt. Mansfield, Vermont, over the Washington's Birthday weekend, when an American Youth Hostel sponsored ski party embarks for Stowe and the AYH ski dorm.

A sleeper, carrying all skiers and accoutrements, will leave North Station Friday night, the AYH announced yesterday. Applications, open to anyone, can be made at 581, Boylston St.

Weathermen predicted cold blasts and free falling snow for the remainder of February as conditions gave every indication of putting an early end to the unseasonable thaw that had all but blotted out winter sports locally.
